13	Task 4: Provide Pricing and Delivery Schedule Pricing and delivery schedule due 6 months after award Pricing for lots of 50, 100, 150, 200, 250, 300, 400, 500 units Pricing includes cost to update to new security and interoperability protocols Assume deliveries are in equal quantities over a 3 month period Pricing for hourly cost of technical support For estimation purposes assume delivery period begins 13 months after award
14	Task 5: ITS World Congress Participation Recipients shall participate in the Safety Pilot Program Showcase – at ITS World Congress Oct. 16 – 20 2011, Orlando FL Recipients shall describe/illustrate proposed ASD Showcase space and access to showcase area will be covered by USDOT USDOT will cover Travel and Time For two recipient personnel USDOT will not cover ITS WC registration
15	USDOT Device Testing Performance of Acceptance Testing Test ASD for compliance with the spec and functionality of safety application(s) Two rounds of testing Initial device submission USDOT provide test results Update device submission (Final Round) Two categories of testing Device Certification meet technical specifications Device that fail will not be considered for Safety Application Testing Safety Application Testing functional performance Include DVI criteria adherence Acceptable devices will be placed on QPL
16	Deliverables
17	Sequence of Activities 45 days after award – Recipient submission of recommended updates to the application specification. 60 days after award – Government will provide an updated application specification (first specification update) and acceptance criteria in response to industry inputs. 6 months after award – Recipient delivery of four (4) device units with self-certified test results in accordance with the updated acceptance criteria, installation and operating instructions, and all necessary hardware and cables to provide for proper installation. 6 months after award – Recipient submission of pricing and delivery schedule for potential future bulk procurement(s). 7 months after award – Government will provide the results of their acceptance testing. 8 months after award – Recipient submission of updated four (4) device units based on results of the initial acceptance tests 10 months after award – Government will provide the results of their final round of acceptance testing based on the updated device and establish a QPL of acceptable devices.
